Episode 3578:

J.D. Roth shares how reclaiming control over your time is the key to living with intention. By understanding where your hours go and aligning your actions with your values, you can craft a more meaningful, less reactive life.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.getrichslowly.org/taking-control-of-time-and-life/

Quotes to ponder:

"Time is your most valuable resource. You can always make more money, but once time is gone, it's gone."

"I wasn't choosing how to spend my time. I was letting life happen to me, and reacting to it."

"Freedom comes when your choices align with your values."
